New to Grow
I have been a Licensed Clinical Social Worker for over 10 years. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including Depression, Anxiety, Relationship Issues, Sports Performance, Memory Loss, Weight Loss, Substance Abuse, Bereavement, and Career challenges. I am Certified in Problem Solving Therapy (PST) and Attention Deficit Disorder (ADHD). My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. My approach combines Cognitive-Behavioral, Humanistic, Psychodynamic and Problem Solving Therapy (PST). I will tailor our dialogue and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you. I look forward to working with you!
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
During the first session you can expect to have a complete Initial Consultation. I will be asking more questions from you pertaining to overall well-being. Some questions will include relationships, medical, employment, and previous mental health experience. This appointment will not reflect future appointments.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
There may also be some times when I may ask you to draw what your thoughts are about something or someone. During therapy it may be difficult to articulate things and drawing is another means of communication. This doesn't mean that you have to have any type of art training; it's a means to express yourself.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I primarily work with clients who have issues with Anxiety, Depression, Life Transitions, ADHD, and Weight Management.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I used Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in my practice. It helps patients focus on the goals they want to accomplish from the moment they start therapy and work their way forward. I often provide patients with some homework to do during the week which falls in line with their desired goal.
